TLDR
In this article, a new route for the generation of Schwinger intensities capable of producing highenergy radiation and particle beams with extremely short time structure down to the attosecond-zeptosecond regime is presented.Abstract:
By the compression of petawatt pulses to multi-exawatt, a new route for the generation of Schwinger intensities capable of producing highenergy radiation and particle beams with extremely short time structure down to the attosecond-zeptosecond regime is being presented. Far from the traditional laser investigation in the eV regime, this laser-based approach offers a new paradigm to investigate the structure of vacuum and applications to subatomic physics.read more

Efficiently parallelized modeling of tightly focused, large bandwidth laser pulses

TL;DR: In this article, an efficient parallelized algorithm was proposed to evaluate the Stratton-Chu diffraction integrals for incident fields of arbitrary temporal and spatial dependence. But this algorithm requires the use of the Hadamard finite part in the derivation of the physical optics approximation.

X-ray laser wakefield acceleration in a nanotube
TL;DR: In this paper, an ultrafast high-intensity optical laser driver is used to accelerate particle accelerators. But the energy gain of electrons is not as high as that of a conventional particle accelerator.

Holography
TL;DR: Holography was discovered in 1948 by Denis Gabor and its development started in the beginning of the 1960s with the invention of the laser as mentioned in this paper , and then the most commonly used optical setup to record and reconstruct holograms.

Relativistic generation of isolated attosecond pulses in a lambda 3 focal volume.
TL;DR: This work has found that single 200 attosecond pulses could be produced efficiently in a lambda(3) laser pulse reflection, via deflection and compression from the relativistic plasma mirror created by the pulse itself.

Compression of high-power optical pulses
Claude Rolland,Paul B. Corkum +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-power compression of femtosecond pulses is demonstrated in nonlinear bulk material and an energy output of ~100 μJ with a pulse duration of ≤ 24 fsec is produced at 630 nm, 4 orders of magnitude more energy than can be compressed in optical fibers.
